Overview
The primary focus of my research has been on the epidemiology of chronic diseases, particularly cardiovascular disease and cancer, and especially among women. I am Principal Investigator or co-Principal Investigator of four large-scale randomized clinical trials or their observational follow-up: the Women's Health Study, a primary prevention trial that evaluated the balance of benefits and risks of low dose aspirin and vitamin E on cardiovascular disease and cancer among 40,000 female health professionals; the Women's Antioxidant Cardiovascular Study, a secondary prevention trial that evaluated the roles of vitamin E, vitamin C, beta-carotene and folic acid/B6/B12 among 8,000 women with a prior history of heart disease; the Physicians' Health Study II, that evaluated vitamin E, vitamin C, beta-carotene and a multivitamin among 15,000 male physicians; and the Brigham and Women's Hospital Vanguard Center of the Women's Health Initiative, that evaluated the roles of low-fat diet, postmenopausal hormones, and calcium/vitamin D supplementation among over 70,000 women nationwide.

I am actively involved in the teaching and training of students and fellows in epidemiology, both nationally and internationally. I serve as Director of EPI 200: Principles of Epidemiology, a core course at the Harvard School of Public Health, am Director of a T32 NRSA Training Grant funded by the NIA in the Epidemiology of Aging, and Co-Program Director of a similar training grant in the Epidemiology of Cardiovascular Disease, funded by the NHLBI.

PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
